Which Army Regulation covers awards and decorations?

• A. Army Regulation 670-1
• B. Army Regulation 600-8-22
• C. Training Circular 4-02.1
• D. Army Regulation 1-1

Answer: (B)

Understanding where official Army policies on recognition are kept helps you navigate how awards and decorations are earned, approved, and worn. Army Regulation 600-8-22 is the authority that defines who is eligible for each decoration, the criteria and nomination/approval processes, and how those awards are worn and displayed on the uniform (including the order of precedence). This regulation directly governs the awards/decoration program, making it the best reference for questions about recognition. Other regulations focus on different topics—such as uniforms in general, or broader organizational guidance—so they don’t provide the complete policy for awards and decorations.
